The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators has posted their Holiday BookStop, and it features The Fate Of The Frog. Click HERE for the direct link.

Friends and fans, please take 3 minutes to leave a comment in the Guest Book (the link is in the Iower right-hand corner of the page). Your comments may help The Fate Of The Frog get featured elsewhere. Plus, every one brings *me* a shot of happiness.

And if you are looking for a Christmas gift for a child in your life, please consider purchasing a copy of The Fate Of The Frog *and* the small solar frog fountain pictured below (on sale until November 14th at https://www.hayneedle.com/product/ceramicfrogsolarfountain.cfm).

You'll be reinforcing concepts (rhyme and meter, alliteration, camouflage, life-cycles) that they are learning in school, while also giving them the hands-on opportunity (and an easy one for their parents) to experience solar power and a "best stormwater management practice" (a tiny pond) right in their own backyard.

Thanks for helping me raise the financial support I need to continue hosting sustainability- and science-related public programs at schools, museums, and festivals across the East Coast.

Please Note: If you search (or tell others to do so) for *The Fate of the Frog* on the SCBWI BookStop webpage, please be sure to check the 'Search All Books' box just above the red search button. For some reason, FoF doesn't appear unless this is done.
